Vashlovani National Park (November 2023)

We got the necessary permission and entered the Vashlovani National Park.

What a place! It’s super beautiful!

We drove up a hill and had a beautiful view. In the permission office a lady recommended a specific track to drive down to the main camp.

This track got crazy off-roady. And it got smaller and smaller. So small that at some point Rosinante did not fit anymore on the track. I’d say this track would only maybe be possible with a cross bike.

So we turned around and took the main route to a beautiful camp at a river.

When we continued the next day, we saw very beautiful landscapes, did a hike in a cove and saw some gazelle running through the steppe.

The rainbow mountains and Overland Haven in Georgia (November 2023)

We continued on an off-road route in the direction of Vashlovani National Park. The short off-road track was nice and easy and we saw amazing landscapes and interesting old monasteries.

After the off-road track, we met again with Adela, Alvaro, Roxane and Vincent and together we went to the Overland Haven (see it on Google Maps).

Sarah and Grant were building up the Overland Haven after they came to Georgia from Australia.

Wippel-Woop-Woop-Wipke (aka Nora), a lovely and bit crazy German car traveler, was helping them building up the place.

We helped them installing water pipes and walls and at night we had a big, big Georgian dinner. All together and everybody had contributed something.

It was amazing and a lot of fun. And it was not the last time we would see Wippel.
